TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Y Be it knownfthat I, ABRAHAM' VAN WINKLE, of Newark, in the county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Soda-Water Stand; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use' the same,l reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Awhich-- Figure l represents a transverse vertical section of this invention. Y

Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same.

Similar letters of referencelindicate like parts.

This invention relates to a soda-water stand, which jis composed-of tv vo or more tiers of Sirup cans, placed one above the other, instead of one row on each side of the stand,as heretofore constructed, in such a manner that the appearance of"` the stand and its convenience are enhanced, all the ornamental sirup draughts being shown at a glance, and in convenientrreach of the person having chargent' the stand. The draught for drawing the lsoda-water is placed at the end ofthe stand, and thereby the -soiling of the plated-sirup draughts by the sputtering ofsirup'and water is avoided. 4

A represents a soda stand, which contains two or more tiers', a b, ofsirup cans, arranged one above the other, as shown in thedrawing. By'this arrangement I' am enabled to bring all the Sirup draughts, c, to thc front oi" the stand, and the appearance of said stand and its convenience` are improved. In ordinary soda stands there are two rows of sirup cans, one in front and one'in the rear of .the stand, and the sirup draughts nre'therefore partially in front and partially in the rear, which is less convenient than my arrangement; and` furthermore, a. portion of the sirup draughts are `'not visible from the front, Aand consequently do not add to the richness of the appearanceoi' the stand. The cans -of the upper tier are made narrower than `those of the lower tier, and an angular cover, d, is fitted over the projecting parts of the lower cans. By removing this 'cover the lower cans can be filled without being compelled to remove the cans of the upper tier. r.lhe draught e, for drawing the soda-water, is on the end of the stand instead of on,.its front, as heretofore, and Aall danger of soiling the plated sirup draughts by thespttering of sirup and Water is avoided.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. The arrangement of two or more tiers of Sirup' cans, one above the other, in a sodafwater stand, substantially as and for the purpose described;

V2. Making the cans of the upper tier narrower than lthose of thenextsufcceeding one below, substantially as'and for the purpose set forth. I i ABRAHAM VAN WINKLFL Witnesses:
